Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 520: Chapter 431: The Turtle Ancestor’s Grudge, Journey to Taihang (Double-Length)

“Aren’t you lacking an Earth Phase? Or do you need more hints from Turtle Ancestor?” Turtle Ancestor cautiously glanced at Ye Haicheng, and seeing that the latter did not turn around, it became more urgent and glared.

“Turtle Ancestor, right now there’s no lack of Earth Phase…” Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

His Golden Scale Beast now had a breathing technique. Though catching up with the progress of the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and the Red Flame Fox was a bit difficult, it was still very likely not to fall behind.

Moreover, he could allocate more resources to it.

Turtle Ancestor’s eyes widened even more, and it nearly turned in surprise, thinking of cursing loudly.

It remembered that Ye Jingcheng’s Earth Phase was just a piece of scrap, but now it was catching up with the progress, wasn’t it almost at the third tier already?

Turtle Ancestor became even more urgent.

Truly squandering resources!

“Uncle Gui, let’s go!” Ye Haicheng’s voice leisurely came from the distance.

There was a hint of coldness in the tone.

This made Turtle Ancestor immediately shrink its neck.

Though it was an elder, it never forgot it was merely a Spirit Beast.

“Kid, I know the Cave Heaven Nurturing Spirit Ore Method!” Turtle Ancestor finished speaking and didn’t linger, heading outside.

It muttered curses as it walked away.

Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but find it both amusing and exasperating.

This Turtle Ancestor of his was indeed quite a character.

He had a keen sense of the situation and understood Turtle Ancestor’s implications, but even if Turtle Ancestor had great talent, it was Ye Haicheng’s Spirit Beast.

He could not just take it.

Moreover, he understood that some Spirit Beasts were long-lived, and despite their age, compared to their long lifespan, they could still be considered juvenile.

He estimated that the Turtle Ancestor in front of him was just like this.

Once the human and the turtle had left and disappeared from his field of vision,

he turned his attention to the Storage Bag in his hand, filled with joy.

Now, he could indeed look forward to the Golden Scale Beast and Four-Colored Cloud Deer breaking into the third tier.

Inside were one Earth Phase Third-Stage Core and one Wood Phase Third-Stage Core each.

Counting the original one, both beasts now had two each, greatly increasing the possibility of breaking through as they reached Tier Two Peak.

“It seems the sea monster resources are indeed richer than those inland,” Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but murmur.

For a moment, he was somewhat excited about heading to the Sea Domain.

And this matter was not hard to accomplish.

After all, as of now, his status had not been revealed. Announcing a seclusion for several years to break through to the Purple Mansion would free some time to head to the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain.

In the Yan Kingdom, concealing the Purple Mansion for about a few years at most.

After two or three years, he would definitely need to demonstrate the combat power of the Purple Mansion.

Especially during the formal war between the Qinghe Sect and the Taiyi Sect, without displaying Purple Mansion power, he could likely be considered cannon fodder.

…

Ye Jingcheng walked out of the courtyard, and though his heart surged with emotions, he still needed to properly handle the Ye Family’s matters in the Yan Kingdom.

Taking a group of clansmen to Taihang Market was the most important task at present.

Ye Jingcheng quickly convened a clan meeting, and observing the cultivation levels of the assembled cultivators, his face lit up with smiles.

Among them, Ye Jing Hu had just broken through to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, his eyes full of excitement.

The Thunder Rhinoceros Insect did not enhance Ye Jingcheng, but for Ye Jing Hu, who was at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, it was significant. Coupled with the purchased Thunder Yuan Fruit and Communication Beast, breaking through in three years wasn’t unusual.

Ye Jing Ting, however, was slower by more than a bit, only just reaching the peak of Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer and did not show up today.

Once all the clansmen were gathered, Ye Jingcheng did not hesitate and directly stated:

“The insect plague in Taihang Commandery is unavoidable, the family must divide into two groups, one heading to Taihang Market to control the insect plague, and another to secure the Kongling Mountain Range, preventing a second beast tide from emerging in the short term.” Ye Jingcheng spoke directly.

“Is the Patriarch concerned about the Yuan Family and Wei Family?” Ye Xingqun hesitated for a moment.

“Exactly!” Ye Jingcheng nodded.

“Then I’ll go with Xing Shui and the family’s Demon Hunting Hall!” Ye Xingqun suggested.

“Uncle Xingqun, I’ll entrust this to you!” Ye Jingcheng nodded while handing a Spirit Beast Bag to Ye Xingqun.

Inside the Spirit Beast Bag was none other than the Golden Falcon.

The Golden Falcon was among his Spirit Beasts with the highest offensive power.

Even if a Purple Mansion Cultivator acted secretly, if the Golden Falcon were adequately prepared, it could potentially achieve a one-hit kill.

As for much else, Ye Jingcheng did not provide.

“Uncle Xingqun, remember to be cautious in everything. If things become unmanageable, don’t force it. Another beast tide is of no concern to our Ye Family; we don’t possess such strong power!” Ye Jingcheng finally added.

The Yuan Family and Wei Family were both Foundation Establishment Powers, but with possible hidden Purple Mansion forces behind them.

If even the Golden Falcon felt immense pressure, then no one from the Ye Family could resolve it.

And the resulting beast tide could not be blamed on the Ye Family.

Seeing Ye Xingqun nodding in agreement, Ye Jingcheng then looked at Ye Jingli.

After Ye Xingqun left, Ye Jingli was the final Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Though the family still had Tier Two Spirit Beasts in Spirit Beast Valley and the Mountain Protection Array was sufficient, caution was advised.

“Jingli, pay attention to the Clan Mountain and don’t let anyone exploit it!” Ye Jingli nodded and accepted the order.

After giving his instructions, Ye Jingcheng turned to Ye Jing Hu.

“Jing Hu, coordinate with clansmen who have Earth Lizard or Toad Spirit Beasts. For them, this Spirit Insect disaster might be an opportunity!” Ye Jingcheng said.

The horror of Spirit-Slaying Locusts lay in their toxicity and numbers.

However, these were insignificant to certain Spirit Beasts.

Moreover, the Ye Family did not plan to dispatch too many high-cultivation elders this time, but rather those specializing in dealing with Spirit Insects.

This approach targeted the plague while preserving Lingyun Peak’s might.

“Alright!” Ye Jing Hu nodded. He understood Ye Jingcheng focused on cultivating him.

He naturally needed to perform even better.

The clan meeting ended quickly as it had started.

Soon, on the Ye Family square, a Profound Shadow Cyan Cloud Ship was pushed to its limits.

The rest of the Ye Family gathered on the square.

After assembling about twenty people, Ye Jingcheng piloted the Spiritual Ship towards Taihang Market.

The Profound Shadow Cyan Cloud Ship showcased its maximum speeds as a Top-Grade Spiritual Ship.

In less than seven hours, a large Cyan Stone Bamboo Forest appeared in the distance.

The forest array was currently raised, clearly in defense mode.

As Ye Jingcheng approached with his group, a cultivator was already waiting.

“Patriarch Ye.” The waiting cultivator was from Master Jiang’s side, in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, whom Ye Jingcheng had met once before.

At the time, they were both in Qi Cultivation, but now they were worlds apart.

“How is the insect plague situation, and where is Elder Tianzhen?” Ye Jingcheng inquired directly.

“The insect plague is severe, in the Yuan Family’s areas, Chang County, Nanping County, and Ding’an County all have over a thousand Spirit-Slaying Locusts, and new Spirit Eggs may have been laid. In the Wei and Jin Family’s areas, it’s slightly better, but seven or eight counties have also been affected. For the small families, it’s even tougher. Elder Tianzhen is currently in the auction hall, discussing how to split these Spirit-Slaying Locusts!” The cultivator didn’t dare to hide anything.

If problems arose with the Spirit-Slaying Locust leading to Taihang Commandery’s devastation, none of the four families would take the blame, leaving Master Jiang accountable.

Knowing this, he swiftly opened the array.

Ye Jingcheng led his group into Taihang Market.

“Jing Hu, take the clansmen to the family restaurant first,” Ye Jingcheng instructed before heading to the auction hall.

Inside the auction hall, many cultivators had already gathered here.

And more stringent arrays were in place, befitting a Tier Three High-Grade Array Master. If an array wasn’t set, that would be the problem.

“Elder Tianzhen!” Ye Jingcheng sent a transmission through the Sound Transmission Talisman.

Quickly, the array opened a Spirit Gate, and Ye Jingcheng stepped inside to see ten-plus individuals gathered, led by Tianzhen Ascendant and Master Jiang.

They were followed by seven or eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Among them were one from the Yuan Family, one from the Wei Family, three from the Jin Family, and two from the Ye Family.

Within the Ye Family cultivators, there was a figure wearing a cyan dress and adorned with jade, standing aside.
